Ahot (70°c) lump of metal has a mass of 250 g and a specific heat of 0.25 cal/g⋅°c. john drops the metal into a 500-g calorimeter containing 75 g of water at 20°c.
the calorimeter is constructed of a material that has a specific heat of 0.10 cal/ g⋅°c.
when equilibrium is reached, what will be the final temperature? cwater = 1.00 cal/g⋅°c.
a. 114°c
b. 72°c
c. 64°c
d. 37°c

d. 37°C

Explanation:

When Equilibrium is reached,

Heat lost = heat gain.

Heat lost by the hot metal = c₁m₁(T₁-T₂) equation 1

Where c₁ = specific heat capacity of the metal = 0.25 cal/g⋅°C, m₁ = mass of the metal = 250 g, T₁ = initial Temperature of the metal = 70°C, T₂ final temperature of the metal .

Substituting this values into equation 1,

Heat lost by the metal = 62.5(70-T₂)

Also,

Heat gain by the water = c₂m₂(T₂-T₁) equation 2

c₂ = 1.00 cal/g⋅°C., m₂ = 75 g, T₁ = 20°C

Substituting this values into equation 2,

Heat gain by water = 1× 75 (T₂ - 20)

Heat gained by water = 75(T₂ - 20)

Also,

Heat gained by the calorimeter = c₃m₃(T₂-T₁) equation 3

Where c₃ = 0.10 cal/ g⋅°C, m =500 g, T₁ =20°C.

Substituting this values into equation 3

Heat gained by the calorimeter = 0.1 × 500(T₂ - 20)

Heat gained by the calorimeter = 50(T₂ - 20)

Heat lost by the metal = heat gained by water + heat gained by the calorimeter.

62.5(70-T₂) = 50(T₂ - 20) + 75(T₂ - 20)

4375 - 62.5T₂ = 50T₂ - 1000 + 75T₂ - 1500

Collecting like terms,

-62.5T₂ - 50T₂ - 75T₂ =  - 1000 - 1500 - 4375

  -187.5T₂ = -6875

Dividing both side by the coefficient of T₂

-187.5T₂ / -187.5 = -6875 /-187.5

 T₂ = 36.666°C

T₂ ≈ 37°C

The final temperature = 37°C

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
